I ran this by Charlie yesterday morning, and he gave it the green light!
I'm offering-up for sale 10 sheets of my "Tortoloid" pickguard material(also makes a dandy headplate!) at $35 each, postage and all included. I'll forward 100% of the sales to Clint. If someone wants all 10, I'll kick-in $50 to the fund directly, also, which is roughly what it would directly cost me to mail each one individually. You can choose from any of the patterns we have at StewMac( http://www.stewmac.com/shopby/product/2093 ).
The sheets will be 2nds, slightly flawed, likely just a tiny dust bump or two, but the flaw will be clearly marked and I will carefully choose them so that it's unlikely that the flaw will be within a normal pickguard's pattern, and at any rate, the dust bumps can even be sanded and buffed out, anyhow. In other words, perfectly usable material.
If you're interested in one, or all ten, say so here, then write me an e-mail telling me which one(s) you want, and an address to send it to(do NOT post an address here!).
So, here's a chance to buy something you likely would buy anyhow, at about the same price, with the proceeds going to someone who dearly needs it, and has helped so many of us, not just by re-building homes and such, but through her excellent repair advice throughout the years here on the MIMF.

Thanks guys; there are 4 of them spoken-for now, so that leaves 6 to go.
That's $140 so far, with my goal to raise $350. Well on our way!

Cool! Only 2 to go!
Hope y'all don't mind if I wait until all are sold before processing it all in one "go"? Though, if you need the sheet(s) right away, just ask...
